LeBron pays tribute to Nipsey Hussle and supports his legacy

The three-time NBA champion talked about the death of Nipsey. According to him, it was one of the biggest tragedies in the US history.

“It’s another tragedy in the inner city, urban community, and it’s just unfortunate,” LeBron said in a CBS 2 Los Angeles interview about the death of Nipsey.

“It’s so unfortunate when you look at a guy who believed in what he believed in, talked about how he wanted to give back to his own community, actually gave back to his community, and actually stayed in his community.”

Before the resumption of the 2019-20 season, King James honored the hip-hop artist with a custom-made Compton basketball jersey with “Crenshaw” written all over the front part.
